I hear Crosby has started skating today - you think this is coincidental? Neal's busted foot that miraculously turned into a bruise seems a bit sketchy. Did you happen to hear if their team physician was fired yesterday?

Definitely,yes. Will accompany the team on their road trip, not to play, just practice. It's a good start, at least, on his way back to eventually playing again.

It still sounds like the chances of him returning this season are slim.

Sounds to me like a "look, Crosby might be back, try and pull something out and he can hobble on to the ice if we someone maybe got to the Finals" kind of thing.  I think he's there trying to be the teams Captain more than anything else.

Inspirational Leader?

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

I don't understand why they won't shut him down for the rest of the year. The bump from Krejci looked like a gust of wind.

 

[maplesyrup]

Some notable non All-Stars as I quickly look over the roster;

Brad Richards
Rick Nash
Jake Gardiner (I think he could/should have made the rookie team.)
Loui Eriksson
Ryan Getzlaf (crappy year but c'mon.)
Joe Thornton (kinda the same boat as Getzlaf)
Anze Kopitar

Man, I can go on and on...

The Jets just took a Jersey lesson...up 1-0 going into the 3rd lose 2-1...classic NJD.

It wasn't a 3 point game, that's the important thing. - Good for both of us.

 

[Madferret]

I don't think there is a better team at 'hanging around in a hockey game' then NJ.

 

[maplesyrup]

... and Brodeur isn't what he was but even 75% of what he was is still pretty darn good. He can still close the door.

48 NHLers who have played more than 1000 games with the same team...

Chara being named an All-Star captain is creating quite the stir... Jokes about him drafting Kessel so he can continue to "own" him...

 

[Sudafederov]

And Lucic commenting that there will be no Canucks on Chara's team.

That actually made me laugh... and then cry a little.

He never actually played for us so I didn't want to make a thread in the ex-Leafs section, but Jimmy Hayes just scored for Chicago.  Pretty nice start to his career.  That gives him 4 goals and 2 assists in his first 9.5 games thus far.

Chicago's putting the beat down on the Sabres, putting their playoff hopes on life support.

Good... Sabre fans were so cocky with Pedula and what they thought was a great offseason.. ahaha
